Outline and explain the findings of Milgram's investigation into the effect of location on obedience. [4 marks]

Answer: When Milgram changed the location of his study from Yale University to a rundown office building in Bridgeport, Connecticut, he found that obedience levels fell from 65% to 47.5%. This shows that the perceived authority of the setting influenced how participants viewed the legitimacy of the authority. The higher status and authority associated with Yale led to higher obedience levels, whereas the lower authority of the rundown office resulted in lower obedience.
